Does LPZZ not want money? It's fucking impossible to buy this figure

>>11517232 (OP)
Why? I can easily find it on aliexpress

>>11517258
and why hasn't it come to BBTS yet? ain't buying from no gook scam site

>>11517261
Wait until you learn how much BBTS ups its import prices

>>11517261
Who the fuck buys on BBTS? Btw, you can pay with paypal on ali if you're too scared of getting.

>>11517258
and which one is legit and likely to ship now instead of 6 months from now?
AliExpress sucks for legit stuff

>>11517275
BBTS is even worse.

>>11517275
>and which one is legit and likely to ship now instead of 6 months from now?
No idea, that's for you to find out. Ask the seller, look for reviews on the product page, make sure it's not a pre order and all that. The order will cancel itself if they dont ship within a week anyway. Or you can cancel it yourself.

>AliExpress sucks for legit stuff
Only if you're dumb enough to buy from a store with 0 rating and 0 reviews

I dont know why people are so scared to buy on aliexpress. It's basically impossible to get scammed nowadays.

what's the quality of the joints like on these figures?

>>11517310
I don't know, sorry.

>>11517261
>Why can't I buy thing?
>Here is where to buy thing
>NOOOOO I do not want to buy thing from there!
Enjoy not having it then since that's apparently what you want to do

Aliexpress is by far the best shop to buy Chinese toy in Europe

>>11517232 (OP)
This is just this entire hobby. Have to preorder everything, months to years in advance, then when people get it in hand and tell you how great it is, it's impossible to ever get again outside of second hand. Utterly retarded.

>>11517704
as long as it filters out poor fags it's kino

>>11517258
>>11517568
no one cares if it isn't the retail price faggots
i'm not paying an extra $30 for something that might not even ship and then have to wait to get my money back

>>11517704
It's fucking nuts. And people want you to find some unknown aliexpress account that offers preorders for february of next year, on a figure they don't even make. I ain't paying 150 bucks for a bootleg scam. No legit sources around, yet people post about it as if they started shipping.
Whoever works sales and marketing at LPZZ is a retard throwing money away

>>11522269
Aliexpress is legitimate, I've never gotten scammed even from seemingly big nobody sellers with deals that seem too good to be true
Hell, I've had better experiences on ali than most sites. I have multiple notes in broken english thanking me for buying, telling me how to get better deals, and a ton of sellers that threw in extra shit like sticker sheets for 3rd party TFs
Some faggot on ebay would send me a broken box and tell me to suck a cock

>>11517232 (OP)
never seen this thing before, is it the best arkham knight batman figure in that scale?

>>11524181
Supposedly yeah but it's only being shown by a handful of people because the release date isn't clear. Some aliexpress sellers say end of august, others november, others say 2026. All preorders on legit websites have been over for a year now, and the few videos around are the same rehash of one chinese video.
I'm searching everywhere for a good source but nothing so far.

>>11522552
Used to be shitty a decade back but they've realized that they make more money actually sending product than scamming some white piggu in USA. You'll still get the occasional scammer but like you said I've had a better experience buying from Ali than ebay.

>>11517704
Yup, an example is the Unkval Eliminator from Sexyice.

>>11524823
which reminds me I'm still fucking depressed that the mantis and unkval are impossible to get
at least I've got manticora on PO

>>11517275
my only experience with aliexpress is buying warhammer figures by joytoy
there are a handful of reputable sellers for that line - people from here and other forums all using them and having no complaints
i'm sure you could find similar type of reputable sellers for other lines and companies
just like any other site look at the reviews and how many of them there are and all the other shopping details (time, costs etc)

>>11525798
Mantis too? Damn, to think I found her for 80 dollars on Mercari some months ago.

And I'm still on the fence regarding Manticora, he's gonna be a bulky and thicc boi with great articulation, neat details and quality, but his color choice is really dull, I'm not fond of effect pieces, and if Unkval is anything to go by, the head is gonna be of a different, hollow material.

>>11527567
Mantis goes for over $300 used minimum right now. I like their line but not enough to break the bank for all of their stuff, since they don't seem to re-release..

>>11529102
>since they don't seem to re-release..
I'm banking on a release of the mantis in more green colors, and maybe reworked wrist joints (ball and socket just seemed weird). Hopefully not as an exclusive though.

>>11527567
I've seen updates to the color-scheme that were air brushed red appendages on top of the gloss black

Personally I rather take it as it is, but I think that red might be the release one

>>11529102
Yikes, Sexyice's aftermarket prices skyrocketed hard then.
>>11529134
I've seen those pics too, I wish the mandibles were at least in a different color, but given the time that has passed since the preorder started I don't think they will do a last minute change regarding colors.

>>11517232 (OP)
>It's fucking impossible to buy this figure
their license only covers the Chinese market and you're months too late to get it without relying on scalpers.

>>11529687
Oh, I thought it was hard to find due to not appearing at all in the usual buying sites, turns out OP just slept on it.

Speaking of preorders, I found this cool fella on IG, but I read the company is new so there's only a handful of pictures. I wish they at least showed the articulation. The company's name is Etched Figure.
So far the shoulders are going to be similar to AY, same as the knees.
And there's also what's called a Calligraphy edition.

>>11533417
And this is the calligraphy edition; the normal one costs 89 dollars, no idea if this version will cost the same.

>>11534344
>buying on BBTS of all places
There are other pages anon, for example 5K

>>11533419
Is there other toy that has this kind of shoulder articulation besides Revoltech or Romankey?
